The category list is the standard envelope, and its name is a machine name
This is the list that fills an editor's node sidebar. A consumer that treats name as human-readable renders a machine name to an author.
The rule
Normative: this is the rule
- The category list answers the standard
{success, data}envelope; a cacheable response carries byte-identical envelope keys to a non-cacheable one, and a door must not hand-build a body to avoid it. datais a list of rows whose keys arename,label,icon,color,description, in that order, every value a string.nameis the category's identifier, not a display name, and there is no separateidkey.- Only enabled categories are published: a disabled one is absent rather than flagged, so a consumer cannot distinguish it from a deleted one.
Rule identifiers are permanent and are never renumbered. Each implementation publishes its own standing against these rules; this specification does not.spec 1.0-draft · META-1 · changed in spec 1.0
